So, can I map more than 8 macro controls? I'm doing DMX lighting, and some of the fixtures have as many as 41 channels. Is 8 the limit, or is there a simple workaround for more macro controls?

Thanks!

I'm trying to use loopMIDI as a virtual MIDI connection between Live and Arkaos VJ.

However, I'm getting a "teVirtualMIDI32.dll and teVirtualMIDI.sys driver differ in version!" error.

Any help appreciated!

I'm not syncing, but simply passing MIDI notes and CC curves to a VJ program on a second laptop.

I'll try without a hub and see what happens.

How I switch between tracks is fairly easy. By default all my tracks (in arrangement view) are deactivated. When a track on the master deck of the CDJ is started, a midi note is triggered to activate the track. When the track stops, the same note is sent again to deactivate the track again. I want ...

Can I run MIDI between two PC laptops with a single ethernet cable?

OK... so I figured this out 11 years ago (as hambone1).

Now I can't get this to work in Live 9, using loopMIDI for the MIDI feedback.

Anyone else get this to work?

I'm trying to transcribe isolated bass guitar tracks into MIDI to be imported into Guitar Pro. I didn't have much luck with Live's audio-to-MIDI feature, so I'm trying Anthem Score, which is doing a much better job. However, as bass guitar is often "organic" with string noise, variable att...

I had 29 DMX lighting fixtures, Arkaos video, and remote pan/tilt/zoom cameras running on Live control. I kept the timing tight by using quantized CC curves. I manually drew a library of different quantizations and shapes, and used different curves for different effects and tempos. Once you make a l...

No matter how hard I try not to, I always go back to 70s disco.

I think it's something to do with the music you were listening to when you first got laid...

I'm looking at new projectors. I prefer rear-projection with a short-throw lens. It allows me to get the projectors away from the crowd. Of interest to me are the new LED/laser light-source projectors. The Casio projectors use LED for red and blue, and laser for green. No bulbs, and 20,000 hours MTB...

Live MIDI can be used to control all things DMX, and it can be incredibly powerful. No Max required. I had 29 DMX fixtures (including fog, laser, strobes, scanners, washes, spots, etc) all under Live MIDI control. All it takes is a MIDI>DMX hardware interface. MIDI-controlled video is powerful, too....
